Hi guys just having a look at my new SMIC and was wondering if I could fit it either way round?
Ie the 1 way would mean relocating battery where as the other way would fit fine before it even interfered with Air Filter.
My question is though if there as a flow direction through these or would it work just as well whichever way I put it in.
Cheers in advance

i belive the way it goes ib the picture on the right
Yeah that is how it has been fitted but I noticed that the mounts can be swaped so was wondering if there is any reason I can\'t fit the other way round to save me relocating battery.
Well I\'m going to try and fit this today so if there is anything anyone knows then please post up. I can\'t see any reason why I can\'t fit it the other way round so will post pics when done and hopefully someone will let me know if it looks ok.
Cheers
so long as the inlet and outlet it will be fine.
There isn\'t a flow direction internally on an intercoolers
Ok cheers guys just don\'t want to cause damage.
Here it is before and after. Quite pleased seems to fit fine but close to radiator pipe do really need heat sheald soon.

Most of the Big jap stuff i.e. 3 row greddy\'s, HKS and knight sport kits have different inlet and outlet sizes depending on application/veichle. Its just something that sometimes needs to be checked.
New IC looks soooo much better than the old :cool

i really like the look of that ic where did you get it and how much was it.

I bought it from DJ Dee off here for £130 without hard pipes as I already had those. RM had it before so don\'t know where it was from originally.
Really pleased though seems a great bit of kit for the money.
Getting car mapped at Pip\'s soon so will see what he thinks of it.

If its got a small and a large pipe, the large needs to go on the inlet. Ideally you want to minimise the number of times the air changes direction as that adds to pressure drop. HTH :)
Yeah both pipes are same size like the stock IC so there were no problems with fitting my HKS hard pipes to it.
